Does anything say summer more than strawberry ice cream? Here in California, the strawberry season is in full swing and these little red gems were screaming to be made into an ice cream. I love my ice cream maker so much that I will not buy ice cream in the grocery store anymore. It is just so easy to make at home and tastes so amazing. Plus my children think that it is pure magic that you pour some liquid into a little machine and ice cream comes out. Who am I to disappoint them?
This ice cream takes a bit longer to make than most of the other flavors that I have made. It is completely worth the wait.
3 cups sliced strawberries
4 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
In a bowl, add 1/2 cup sugar to the strawberries. Add the lemon juice.
Give this strawberry a good sir and let it sit for 2 hours at room temperature.
After two hours, the strawberries will have let go of their juice and created a yummy syrup.
I like a smooth strawberry ice cream, so I pureed all of my strawberries. But you could only puree half if you want to and add the whole berries to have a chunkier ice cream.
Add the remaining sugar.
Add the milk.
And the cream.
And finally, the vanilla.
Stir until the mixture is combined. Chill the ice cream for 2 hours or overnight.
Freeze according to your machine’s directions.
Transfer to another container and freeze until firm. About two hours.
Scoop and enjoy.
Don’t mind if I do.
Happy Summer.

I am Bree. I love to cook. Even more than I love to take pictures.
Oh those berries! And those happy little ice-cream eating faces! It all just screams summer…and looks completely delicious…!
thank you.. my little ice cream eaters loved the strawberry.
I just purchased an ice cream maker so this recipe comes at a perfect time! I have a question though…..when you say to chill the ice cream for 2 hours or overnight, you mean, put the mixture in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight before you’ve put it in the ice cream maker?
that is exactly what I mean. The ice cream will freeze better if the mixture is really cold when it goes into the machine. Have fun with your new ice cream maker. I love mine!

Please take a look and let me know if everything is ok. Love you blog! Great job!

Thanks for the info about chilling the mixture first. I made my first batch of plain old vanilla last night and it turned out really good!
My next question……….what size is your ice cream machine? Just trying to get an idea if I need to half your recipe for my machine. Mine is only 1 1/2 quarts.
Mine is 2 quarts. I would cut this recipe back to fit.
Summer perfection! Strawberry ice cream is one of my favorites. Yours looks delicious!

Your recipe sounds like a perfect addition to my no-store-bought-ice-cream summer. I am definitely including this one in my Monday menu plan for the week!

Me too!
This is fabulous ice cream!! It tastes exactly like the ice cream you get at stands in Germany, something I’ve never been able to find in the States. I’m going to make it with all kinds of fruit. Thank you for sharing this!
I bet that raspberry and peach would be delicious. I am glad that you found something similar to what you were looking for.
We went strawberry picking this past weekend just outside Boston, MA, and I wanted an easy ice cream recipe that didn’t involve raw eggs or cooking since our toddler daughter will likely be the main consumer and we don’t have an air conditioned kitchen! Well, this recipe is fantastic!! I adapted it slightly as I have a Krups 1.5 quart ice cream maker (1 1/3 cups heavy cream and 2/3 cup whole milk, although I may need to scale the quantities back a tad further next time) and the results were terrific
I need to go berry picking soon. This would be really good with raspberries too I bet.
Thanks for the great strawberry recipe! I need some way to use up these costco strawberries..
Just one question – what brand glass containers are you using to store your ice cream in the freezer? I was going to use a pyrex but there’s a ton of search results about exploding pyrex containers..
I think that they are Pyrex, but I have never had a problem freezing them.
This tastes wonderful! I don’t like store bought strawberry ice cream because I think it has a cooked flavor, but this tastes so fresh and bright!! I can’t decide whether I like this or your amazing fresh mint ice cream recipe better.
Thank you Elizabeth! I am so glad that you like both recipes.
This recipe looks divine! How much does it yield?
1 quart I believe.
[...] In this amazingly hot days we should put diets behind and just refresh ourselves! I’m addicted to sugar so ice creams is just a perfect combination of sweet and fresh. Found out this FABULOUS food blog called Baked Bree. I’m going to explore it better in the future but here it is the recipe for Strawberry Ice Cream. [...]
I’ve never seen an ice cream recipe with no eggs or cornstarch before! How interesting! And it looks so creamy!!
It is my favorite way to make it. It is so much easier too than making a real custard. The result is so creamy.
Thanks so much! I will definitely try this!

Hi, Just curious what kind of Ice Cream maker you use? I have been researching them as I have a very old fashioned one and not sure which is the easiest and best type to get. Would love to here what you have.
I use this one and love it.
